The Neck of Beauty.

Bracelets for the arms, and necklaces,
have been the adornment OF beauty in
all ages. They were originally intended
to attract the notice OF the behoiders,
and draw attention to the round, full
throats and stately. swan.like necks OF
the beauties OF covrts and royal pal
aces, and 70 the rou d, soft arms OF the
dimpled beauties no wore soft raiment
and were in kif g. houses. Modern
taste has banished these ornaments
from the street costume and the ordi-
nary home dress, and In their place
have come the soft lawns and clear
linens. Fashion has decreed that these
be worn in sets and in oolors to match,
and the trade has exercised its utmost
ingenuity In fabricating new styles, new
cOlOrs and new combinations. Not only
so, the cost of producing these marvel
GUS effects Is reduced year by year by
the appliances OF modern machinery
until what cost dollars a few years ago
can now be procured for almost as many
cents. The most exquisite cuffs and
collars, for ladies', assorted colors and
sizes, are offered In sets offour-four col
lars and two pairs Of cuffs-at the low
price OF % cents per set. This fact, in
credible as it may appear, can be veri-
fed by calling at WOlfson's and sampling
the goods. Hundreds Of ladies call there
every day out Of mere curiosity and
find it exactly as stated. Four collars
and two pairs of cuffs for % cents. Mar
VelOus, Ia il not?

A Texas Elephant,

There Is an elephant in Texas that has
never seen the jungles of either Africa
or Asia, and yet it is mammoth speci-
men of its Kind and draws very many
visitors, SINCE this elephant first I'M
folded his trunk In San Antonio, less
than eighteen months since, it has out
grown the magnificent quarters in
which 1t was housed and lts owner is
building greater in order to accommo-
date it. This animal is generally known
as "WOlfsOn's White Elephant" and has
more in his trunk than any OF the breed
that ever came to the southwest. In
other wOrds-WoI fsOn's White Ele-
plant Clothing Store is not large enough
for the conduct of his growing trade,
and he is busy doubling its size. In the
meantime he Is selling all his vast as
sOrtmeDt Of gents furnishing goods,
clothing of all kinds, hats and all else In
this building at greatly reduced figures
in order to save moving, and at the
same time to make space for the i'm
mense invoices he has ordered to arrive
on completion of his addition. This is
the best opportunity this city has
offered to purchase the latest styles of
goods at the lowest eastern prices.
WOlfsOn never advertisss Eat cost" but
when he has a special object in view he
can sell goods lower than other houses
can buy them, and that Ia what he is do
ing now. This offer only holds good
while he is building his Elephant addi-
ton, Now Ia the time to call while ne
Is Cramped for room.

Death on the Exchange.

New YORK, July 15.-One of the most
distressing incidents that ever occurred
on the New York Stock Exchange
transpired at noon today and was sur
rounded by circumstances so peculiarly
sad that this occurrence caused
the members to suspend business
at once without any preliminary
notice. When the vice president, Hill,
appeared, he seemed in full health, and
assembled the platform to announce the
death of M. K. Davis, but had hardly
finished when he was taken with sud-
den weakness, and his friends assisted
him to the main entrance. He had just
passed the flight leading to the door
when he expired. The announcement OF
his death was Immediately made, and q
special meeting Of the governing COM
mittee was called to take action. Bust
ness remains entirely suspended, and
the exchange adjourned until tomor-
row.

Editor OF tho LIGHT:
Does Mr.. Randolph" want to hit the
"LIGHT" a rap over the knuokles from 4
safe position, viz: behind a nom-de-
plume in the columns of another paper,
or does he want fair play2 Let us see;
do not the usual rules OF journalism pre-
clude an editor from noticing such COM
munioations? Yes. Then we think he
should be given hand from outside
sources.
How can Mr.. Randolph" explain tho
fact that Mr.. Cleveland treated the in
vitatlon Of the G.. A. X. extended in
February last with silent contempt, and
call 1t "manly?" Again, accept another
invitation to be present at the same
time and place from another body of
citizens (chiefly democrats) and
call 1t "courteous?" After this
"battle flag" order he sees he
has gone too far and then tries to
hedge" by addressing his letter Of de-
clination TO the committee OF the g. A.
II. and citizens and assigns as a reason
that he feared there might be hard feel
ings, or words to that effect, II he went.
Would there have been any cause for
hard feelings If he had conformed to the
usages OF polite society and responded
to a polite invitation, though the re-
spouse be conditional, affirmative, or
negative? No, Mr.. Randolph. We be-
lieve that his best friends think he made
a mistake TO exhibit his lack OF "tact"
TO call IL no wOrse) in such lame ex-
cuse as that letter Is, or would be to any
one, let alone the head OF the nation.
